I buy all my coins from Gainseville coins...anybody ever get a fake from them?

just use a bleach.because only silver tarnishes on bleach.

i use the ping test quite frequently as well, i balance the coin on my finger and tap it with a metal pen. Silver coins have a distinct tone, and it resonates. urs is good too. Ive always wondered if the ping test is reliable.

@edwardwills you know you can make your own fisch detector using a sheet of plexiglass. I will make one and post it to my channel. I must say that Fisch detectors can be hard to use with stuff like Krugerrands. Although the weight and diameter can be tested no problem, I've seen where depending on the strike pressure when the coin is struck, the rim edge can vary, making the thickness not consistent at the rim, although it varies very little in the center of the coin.

@Silveready1 That's interesting. the Chinese are getting better at producing alloys of a density similar to silver. Keep thinking about ways to detect them. :)
I think your scale is off because a half dollar is suppose to weigh 12.5 grams. Most of mine weigh close to that. Also the dollar is double the weight of a half so it should weigh at 25 grams.

@Beezy2127 actually a Morgan or Peace dollar weighs more than 2 half Dollars (26.73 Grams)

I just brought five peace dollars and I`ve noticed that one of them feels so much lighter than the rest of them.. I wonder if it`s fake

@Goldenchild795 take it to your local coin dealer and have them check it out.

@SILVERMAGNETSLIDE believe it or not the dimensions and weight were very similar to the real half.
